Hello,

first of all I find the documentation very good and very well translated (french user).

But i was configuring my boot loader (grub.conf) with genkernel.
I couldn't manage to have it work and after googeling I found the error.

The "root (hd0,0)" entry was not correct. The / partition in my case is /dev/hda2 so I had to change "root (hd0,0)" to "root (hd0,1)" to have the boot working.

So I think it would be very interresting for erveryone to have more information about this line in the grub.conf in the install documentation.

Best regards,

Faustin

It's explained right at the beginning under "Understanding GRUB's terminology"
